The newly appointed head of Taiwan's Central Election Commission, You Ying-long, discussed the controversy surrounding Mainland spouses' right to vote. With Li Zhenxiu losing her "Legislative Yuan" status after being expelled from the People Power Party, the debate over Mainland spouses' electoral rights has gradually subsided, and many people have breathed a sigh of relief. However, the Li Zhenxiu case is absolutely not the last such instance—similar cases will continue to emerge in the future unless relevant laws are appropriately adjusted and revised. This requires joint efforts from Taiwan's authorities and the "Legislative Yuan." At this stage, using the "ancestry law" to address issues concerning Mainland spouses' voting rights is highly implausible and fraught with serious controversy.
